    I’m downsizing from a 27in iMac to this 24in and I can hardly tell the difference. Every video I watch on the screen is smooth, vivid, and clear. Due to the new Apple M1 chip, 4K videos play without any lag and no matter how many apps I’m using, this computer doesn’t even stutter. It is amazing how they can fit such a quiet and powerful computer into a body that is as thin as a macbook. Speakers are so small yet they are stronger than previous models. The magic mouse, keyboard, power cable, and included lightning cable are color matched, even the sticker is color matched to your model! I highly recommend getting the 8 core/8 core gpu model as the base model doesn’t come with the touch ID on the keyboard - a very underrated feature. The upgrade from the base model also includes an ethernet jack on the power brick as well as 2 more usb-c jacks in the back. The power button and aux jack are located to the left of the screen on the back and side. This is not just a computer for casual home use, it will function perfectly for the majority of users - person and business. If you are looking for a new Mac, look no further.

    I have favored using Apple products over the years. My work life has given me the opportunity to use Windows products when it comes to laptops and desktops. I have also owned Windows laptops and desktops for home use in the past and will never go back to them for my personal use.

    I currently have a MacBook Air, iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Homepods, Apple TV and now this new iMac which has replaced my older iMac. Apple ties everything together using iCloud. When everything works together it just makes life easy. With this iMac I have now stepped up to a SSD and that along with the new M1 Processor it makes this machine fast. Really fast.

    The migration assistance software that the iMac comes with allowed me to easily move everything over from my old iMac’s Time Machine backup. In no time at all I was up and running with my old desktop settings and all my Apps from my old iMac on this new machine. Rosetta 2 translates and runs a few Apps that are still Intel CPU coded.

    The 24 inch display is another plus for me. Beautiful colors and resolution.

    The fingerprint security on the keyboard is nice but my old iMac would unlock via my Apple Watch so it isn’t something that I would had to have.

    One negative is the ports. You either buy a USB Hub or like me purchase a few USB-C to USB Adapters to allow older devices to connect to the newer ports.

    I am pleased with it.

    Never had an Apple Mac before. Used pc's for 30 plus years. Decided to try an iMac and this seemed to be the latest with the M1 chip. I also purchased the Microsoft for Mac conversion so that I could still use EXCEL, WORD and POWERPOINT. I also set up the file transfer from my laptop pc to the iMac. While it took about an hour to transfer files, it was successful, although it did NOT transfer pictures nor favorite bookmarks, so I had to go to each web site and save on Safari. This took a while but Safari is much faster than the other sites I have used in the past. For example, on pc it took 3 minutes to get to my bank's website, on the iMac it takes about 5 seconds. This is an incredible machine. I still have a lot to learn about all it can do. By the way, I am 78 years old, so don't panic about learning something new if you have never used an Apple product before. I also recommend that you purchase the extended warranty which allows you to contact Apple support 24/7. These people are very, very nice and are extremely helpful in solving problems if you should have any. I highly recommend this Apple iMac!!!!!
